The Lucky Ones Howard Jeffrey © 2011 Verse The smile on your face – gets replaced – with a trace Of the sadness, you think that I don’t see. I lie awake – while you sleep – you’re dreaming deep I can feel you slowly slip away from me Prechorus: There’s no strength in silence Baby Or holding back what’s true Open your heart and tell me Baby Help me pull you through. Chorus: I don’t want to be the last one standing With nothing left to lose How could I ever be the strong one baby When I can’t get through? I don’t want to be the last one standing And watch you slip away I thought we’d always be together, Baby Remember when you said: We’re the lucky ones, the not unlucky ones. We’re the lucky ones, the not unlucky ones. Verse A tear’s in your eye -- I hear you sigh – you don’t reply When I ask you, why you seem to be afraid Every day -- I hear you pray – keep the fear at bay But it’s your light I see fading away Prechorus: There’s no strength in hiding Baby From what we know is true Open your heart and show me Baby Together we’ll get through. Chorus: I don’t want to be the last one standing With nothing left to lose How could I ever be the strong one baby When I can’t get through? I don’t want to be the last one standing And watch you slip away I thought we’d always be together, Baby Remember when you said: We’re the lucky ones, the not unlucky ones. We’re the lucky ones, the not unlucky ones.
